Is contemporary Christianity at odds with America democracy? My answer aligns with most commentaries: Yes. You can’t serve two masters at the same time. (Mt. 6:24 and Luke 16:13) You can’t give precedence to God and His Christian principles and do likewise to the majority thinking of a democratic society.

The majority of Americans are in favor of gay rights. The Christian God isn’t. The majority of Americans are in favor of gay marriages. The Christian God isn’t. The majority of Americans are in favor of abortion rights. The Christian God isn’t. You can easily see where I’m going with this.

Because “It’s not for man to choose his own footsteps” (Jeremiah 10:23) one could conclude that it is also true of every individual who makes up any particular society. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. You can’t give yourself over to Christ–completely–and continue to linger in a self-fulfillment mode, disregarding treating your neighbor as yourself.

One must draw the line in the sand and stand firmly on one side or the other. To straddle the line in indecision is to be lukewarm for Christ, Who’ll spit you out of His mouth like He never knew you.
